2026 Kitchen Gift Guide

Global Knives. The best knives ever. The best I’ve ever used! I use them daily.

Ninja Crispi Pro. We use this multiple times a day. The fact that you can SEE the food cooking is a game changer. Eddie and I both love it so much.

Breville Barista Touch. The best gift I bought us a few years ago. I use this almost everyday and everyone who comes over loves it too.

Holiday Dutch Oven. The prettiest holiday gifts. I use these as decor in December!

Ninja Slushie Machine.  I just bought this for us. I am so excited to use it for our Thanksgiving and Christmas, then come next summer? It’s on!

Stone Rectangular Bakers. I use these nonstop all week. For everything!

Le Creuset Bread Baker. Use for my sourdough all the time. It’s great.

Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. Nothing to say here, except that it’s used weekly in my kitchen.

Kitchen Aid Black Studded Mixer Bowl. I have the OG mixer that uses this bowl… it is a show-stopping piece for the kitchen!

Breville Smart Kettle. This most beautiful kettle, ever.

Opal Nugget Ice Maker. I can’t live without nugget ice now, it’s the millennial in me. It’s more than worth it!

Long Charcuterie Board. I use this quite often for entertaining. It makes such a statement.

Breville Smart Oven Pro. We have used this for years, it’s an air fryer and toaster/regular oven! It’s living in my basement kitchen now and is great for nuggets, etc downstairs with the kids.

Greenpan Essential Pan. The most stunning pans that work beautifully. I love using these.

Jeni’s Holiday Ice Cream Set. The most incredible gift for the ice cream lover.

Our Place Bakeware Set. I LOVE the our place bakeware so much.

Our Place Wonder Oven. And the wonder oven! It’s an air fryer/oven combo and it’s SO retro and pretty on the counter.

Our Place Cookware Set. Love the pans too, especially now that they are oven-safe!

Our Place Braiser.  This is my most used pan for dinner. Love it.

Smeg Citrus Juicer. One of my most used items and most gifted too. It makes the best juice!

Smeg Mini Milk Frother. I love a milk frother and this one is stunning.

Teak Cutting Board. Beauty! It can be decor in the kitchen too.

Cut Board Pro. This is new-to-me and I think Eddie would love it.

Doughbed. Used every time I make sourdough!

Sourdough Goldie House. I use this 24/7 and it’s the reason my starter has thrived.

Sourdough Bread Lame. This is lame I have and it’s great.

Greenpan Silicone Tools. I buy a set every year. Excellent!!

Staub Round Coquette. I love the size of this for soups that feed 4 or 6. It’s perfect.

Gravity Salt and Pepper Set. A game changer in the kitchen.

Greenpan Everyday Griddle. I love a griddle like this and will even travel with it on vacation.

Staub Cast Iron Skillet. My cast iron I use weekly!

Ooni Indoor Electric Pizza Oven. I LOVE this. I loved our outdoor Ooni too, but this is so much easier for me to use.

Ninja Belgian Waffle Maker. I have three of these and use them for our brunch parties. They make excellent waffles and are so easy to use.

Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl. I need this in my life. I love the regular creami, but this is something my kids will freak over!

Ninja Luxe Cafe. A great option if you don’t want the big Breville.

Ninja French Door Air Fryer. If you like a bigger, prettier air fryer than the crispi, this is such a great option. And the color!

Phillips Espresso Machine. This is in our basement kitchen and it works so well – almost as good as the breville! A much more affordable option.

Bistro Measuring Cups. The prettiest.

Bistro French Press. I also love a good french press.

Glass Olive Boat. Use it every time we entertain!

Olivewood Bread Box. I have this since I make so much bread now. It’s so pretty on the counter.

Fellow Stagg Kettle Pro. This is such a beauty. I love using it. It is stunning and a gorgeous gift.

Stone molcajete. This is so stunning. Beautiful! Tableside guac please.

Lustered drinkware. This is some of my favorite drinkware. I love it.
